Inline elements can't be transformed, and pseudo elements are inline by default, so you must apply display: block or display: inline-block to transform them:

#whatever:after {
  content:"\24B6";
  display: inline-block;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(30deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(30deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(30deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(30deg);
  transform: rotate(30deg);
}
